This was such a good one. Also got me at the end. It reminds me of another lovely and incredibly moving game I HIGHLY recommend, When The Past Was Around. You solve problems piecing together a young woman’s memories to tell the story of a past relationship. The art is beautiful and the main character is a musician so there’s a musical element as well.

When you gaze at the stars, the stars also gaze at you. From the creators of Behind The Frame, a game centered around painting.. comes The Star Named EOS, a game focused on photography. While the game only takes around 2-4 hours (depending on you solve the puzzles), the story is both touching and bittersweet, The art style looks quite the same with Behind The Frame, and now features voiceovers in English, Japanese (日本語), and Chinese (中文), adding depth to the experience. I play with 日本語 VO and it was a legit deadass. It took me 3 hours because I got stuck on a puzzle that I didn't fully paid attention to and this doesn't include unlocking all the achievements. However, I really loved the puzzles. Some were easy and some were challenging but not frustating. And you will use the camera to solve certain puzzles. I also appreciated the small details in this game, such as how the background picture changes to match the chapter theme when you return to the main menu. Also, they put some easter eggs from their previous game. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3299121842 if you're looking for a puzzle game that use camera as core gameplay, I'd recommend to play TOEM.

Very cute and beautifully animated short game about photography with a darkish twist, that spices up the main story happening in the background. I actually did like a lot of the puzzles the game had to offer. I thought they were nicely done, a bit too easy for the most part, and then a few quite obscure ones, but overall i enjoyed them a lot. Small gripes: Please allow me to skip the intro dialogue when i start selecting chapters. I wanted to try getting a few more achievements, and i have to sit through the mom reading the letter every single god damn time... AAAAA Also the subtitles got stuck on my screen several times and got overlayed on top of each other. For now quitting and re-entering fixes it if anyone else has this issue. It's quite short but very pretty, and the story and puzzles are good, so I will recommend it.

July 2024

Short story/puzzle game that almost made me cry. If you liked Behind the Frame from the same dev (or similar games) you will probably enjoy this as well. Game is only about 2 hours long if that matters to you, but every scene was beautiful and the puzzles were fun.
